In engineering, a very important area outside of the design and implementation of a product is ethics. If everybody just created products on a whim and companies produced and sold them, there would be a host of issues and legal problems. Before a product ever reaches the point of sale, it is important that an engineer realizes that he/she is responsible, and liable, for any problems down the line. It is for this reason that an engineer must take into account the dangers of their products and design them in such a way that will prevent future accidents and lawsuits.
